This was $25 on a restaurant list but retails for between $15 and $20 making it a great value. The grape is Lacrima. My first time trying the grape and the wine. Pop and pour.

Our bottle did not last long, so I am not sure if air would help or even how it ages. There is plenty of fruit so maybe everything i
